Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an audio/speech encoding apparatus, audio/speech decoding apparatus and audio/speech encoding and decoding methods using Huffman coding.
  • Huffman coding is widely used to encode an input signal utilizing a variable-length (VL) code table (Huffman table). Huffman coding is more efficient than fixed-length (FL) coding for the input signal which has a statistical distribution that is not uniform.
  • VL variable-length
  • FL fixed-length
  • the Huffman table is derived in a particular way based on the estimated probability of occurrence for each possible value of the input signal. During encoding, each input signal value is mapped to a particular variable length code in the Huffman table.
  • the total number of bits used to encode the input signal can be reduced.
  • JP 2002-268693 A relates to a processing section determination part which sets a plurality of processing sections on a frequency axis in the encoding of a conversion coefficient so that the sections are less than prescribed minimum unit sections.
  • An optimum encoding processing part encodes the conversion coefficient calculated by an orthogonal conversion part, set by the determination part, according to an index for adaptively controlling the generation amount of quantization noise calculated by an auditory analysis part and outputs the encoded conversion coefficient and the attached auxiliary information having been used for the encoding.
  • the signal statistics may vary significantly from one set of audio signal to another set of audio signal. And even within the same set of audio signal.
  • the encoding of the signal can not be optimally done. And it happens that, to encode the audio signal which has different statistics, the bits consumption by Huffman coding is much more than the bits consumption by fixed length coding.
  • One possible solution is to include both the Huffman coding and fixed length coding in the encoding, and the encoding method which consumes fewer bits are selected.
  • One flag signal is transmitted to decoder side to indicate which coding method is selected in encoder. This solution is utilized in a newly standardized ITU-T speech codec G.719.
  • the solution solves the problem for some very extreme sequences in which the Huffman coding consumes more bits than the fixed length coding. But for other input signals which have different statistics from the Huffman table but still select the Huffman coding, it is still not optimal.
  • Huffman coding is used in encoding of the norm factors' quantization indices.
  • the input signal sampled at 48 kHz is processed through a transient detector (101). Depending on the detection of a transient, a high frequency resolution or a low frequency resolution transform (102) is applied on the input signal frame.
  • the obtained spectral coefficients are grouped into bands of unequal lengths.
  • the norm of each band is estimated (103) and resulting spectral envelope consisting of the norms of all bands is quantized and encoded (104).
  • the coefficients are then normalized by the quantized norms (105).
  • the quantized norms are further adjusted (106) based on adaptive spectral weighting and used as input for bit allocation (107).
  • the normalized spectral coefficients are lattice-vector quantized and encoded (108) based on the allocated bits for each frequency band.
  • the level of the non-coded spectral coefficients is estimated, coded (109) and transmitted to the decoder. Huffman encoding is applied to quantization indices for both the coded spectral coefficients as well as the encoded
  • the transient flag is first decoded which indicates the frame configuration, i.e., stationary or transient.
  • the spectral envelope is decoded and the same, bit-exact, norm adjustments and bit-allocation algorithms are used at the decoder to recompute the bit-allocation which is essential for decoding quantization indices of the normalized transform coefficients.
  • de-quantization (112)
  • low frequency non-coded spectral coefficients are regenerated by using a spectral-fill codebook built from the received spectral coefficients (spectral coefficients with non-zero bit allocation) (113).
  • Noise level adjustment index is used to adjust the level of the regenerated coefficients.
  • High frequency non-coded spectral coefficients are regenerated using bandwidth extension.
  • the decoded spectral coefficients and regenerated spectral coefficients are mixed and lead to normalized spectrum.
  • the decoded spectral envelope is applied leading to the decoded full-band spectrum (114).
  • the inverse transform (115) is applied to recover the time-domain decoded signal. This is performed by applying either the inverse modified discrete cosine transform for stationary modes, or the inverse of the higher temporal resolution transform for transient mode.
  • the norm factors of the spectral sub bands are scalar quantized with a uniform logarithmic scalar quantizer with 40 steps of 3dB.
  • the codebook entries of the logarithmic quantizer are shown in Figure 2 .
  • the range of the norm factors is [2 -2.5 ,2 17 ], and the value decreases as the index increases.
  • the encoding of quantization indices for norm factors is illustrated in Figure 3 .
  • the norm factor is quantized using the first 32 codebook entries (301), while other norm factors are scalar quantized with the 40 codebook entries (302) shown in Figure 2 .
  • the quantization index for the first sub band norm factor is directly encoded with 5 bits (303), while the indices for other sub bands are encoded by differential coding.
  • differential indices are encoded by two possible methods, fixed length coding (305) and Huffman coding (306).
  • the Huffman table for the differential indices is shown in Figure 4 . In this table, there are in total 32 entries, from 0 to 31, which caters for possibilities of abrupt energy change between neighboring sub bands.
  • Auditory masking occurs when the perception of one sound is affected by the presence of another sound.
  • the lower-level tone at 1.1kHz will be masked (inaudible) due to existence of the powerful spike at 1kHz.
  • the sound pressure level needed to make the sound perceptible in the presence of another sound is defined as masking threshold in audio encoding.
  • the masking threshold depends upon the frequency, the sound pressure level of the masker. If the two sounds have similar frequency, the masking effect is large, and the masking threshold is also large. If the masker has large sound pressure level, it has strong masking effect on the other sound, and the masking threshold is also large.
  • the degradation on sound component in this sub band is not able to be perceived by the listeners.
  • the auditory masking properties are explored to narrow down the range of the differential indices, so that a Huffman table which have fewer code words can be designed and used for encoding.
  • the Huffman table has fewer code words, it is possible to design the code codes with shorter length (consumes fewer bits). By doing this, the total bits consumption to encode the differential indices can be reduced.
  • Figure 5 illustrates the invented codec, which comprises an encoder and a decoder that apply the invented scheme on Huffman coding.
  • the energies of the sub bands are processed by the psychoacoustic modelling (501) to derive the masking threshold Mask(n).
  • the quantization indices of the norm factors for the sub bands whose quantization errors are below the masking threshold are modified (502) so that the range of the differential indices can be smaller.
  • the Huffman table which is designed for the specific range among a set of predefined Huffman table is selected (505) for encoding of the differential indices (506).
  • the Huffman table designed for [12,18] are selected as the Huffman table for encoding.
  • the set of predefined Huffman tables are designed (detail will be explained in later part) and arranged according to the range of the differential indices.
  • the flag signal to indicate the selected Huffman table and the coded indices are transmitted to the decoder side.
  • Another method for selection of Huffman table is to calculate all the bits consumption using every Huffman table, then select the Huffman table which consumes fewest bits.
  • a set of 4 predefined Huffman tables are shown in Figures 6A and 6B .
  • Table 6.1 shows the flag signal and corresponding range for Huffman table.
  • Table 6.2 shows the Huffman codes for all the values in the range of [13,17].
  • Table 6.3 shows the Huffman codes for all the values in the range of [12,18].
  • Table 6.4 shows the Huffman codes for all the values in the range of [11,19].
  • Table 6.5 shows the Huffman codes for all the values in the range of [10,20].
  • the corresponding Huffman table is selected (507) for decoding of the differential indices (508).
  • Figure 7 illustrates the derivation of the masking curve of the input signal. Firstly, the energies of the sub bands are calculated, and with these energies and masking curve of the input signal are derived.
  • the masking curve derivation can utilize some prior art existing technologies such as the masking curve derivation method in MPEG AAC codec.
  • Figure 8 illustrates how the range of the differential indices is narrowed down.
  • the comparison is done between the masking threshold and the sub band quantization error energy.
  • their indices are modified to a value which is closer to the neighbouring sub band, but the modification is ensured that the corresponding quantization error energy does not exceed the masking threshold, so that sound quality is not affected.
  • the range of the indices can be narrowed down. It is explained as below.
  • the modification of the indices can be done as below (using sub band 2 as example). As shown in Figure 2 , large index is corresponding to smaller energy, and then Index(1) is smaller than Index(2). The modification of Index(2) is actually to decrease its value. It can be done as shown in Figure 9 .
  • the design of the Huffman table can be done offline with a large input sequence database.
  • the process is illustrated in Figure 10 .
  • the quantization indices of the norm factors for the sub bands whose quantization errors energy are below the masking threshold are modified (1002) so that the range of the differential indices can be smaller.
  • the differential indices for the modified indices are calculated (1003).
  • the range of the differential indices for Huffman coding is identified (1004). For each value of range, all the input signal which have the same range will be gathered and the probability distribution of each value of the differential index within the range is calculated.
  • Huffman table For each value of range, one Huffman table is designed according to the probability. Some traditional Huffman table design methods can be used here to design the Huffman table.
  • the differential indices are calculated between the original quantization indices.
  • the original differential indices and new differential indices are compared whether they consume same bits in the selected Huffman table.
  • the modified differential indices are restored to the original differential indices. If they don't consume same number of bits, the code words in the Huffman table which is closest to the original differential indices and consumes same number of bits are selected as the restored differential indices.
  • the merits of this example are quantization error of the norm factor can be smaller while the bits consumption is the same as the example 1.
  • the merit of this example is the very complex and high complexity psychoacoustic modelling can be avoided.
  • a module is implemented to modify values of some differential indices (1302).
  • the modification is done according to the value of the differential index for the preceding sub band and a threshold.
  • the abrupt energy change happens only when some main sound components which have large energy start to show effect in the frequency band or their effect start to diminish.
  • the norm factors which represent the energy also have abrupt change from the preceding frequency band, the norm factor quantization indices would also suddenly increase or decrease by a large value. Then it resulted in a very large or very small differential index.
  • Equation (11) and Equation (13) whether the modification of a differential index should be done and how much it should be modified is all dependent on the differential index for preceding frequency band. If the differential index for the preceding frequency band can be perfectly reconstructed, then the current differential index can also be perfectly reconstructed.
  • the first differential index is not modified at encoder side, it is directly received and can be perfectly reconstructed, then the second differential index can be reconstructed according to the value of the first differential index; then the third differential index, the forth differential index, and so on, by following the same procedure, all the differential indices can be perfectly reconstructed.
  • the merit of this embodiment is that the range of the differential indices can be reduced, while the differential indices can still be perfectly reconstructed in decoder side. Therefore, the bits efficiency can be improved while retain the bit exactness of the quantization indices.
  • Each function block employed in the description of the aforementioned embodiment may typically be implemented as an LSI constituted by an integrated circuit. These may be individual chips or partially or entirely contained on a single chip. "LSI” is adopted here but this may also be referred to as “IC,” “system LSI,” “super LSI” or “ultra LSI” depending on differing extents of integration.
  • circuit integration is not limited to LSI's, and implementation using dedicated circuitry or general purpose processors is also possible.
  • FPGA Field Programmable Gate Array
  • reconfigurable processor where connections and settings of circuit cells within an LSI can be reconfigured is also possible.
  • the encoding apparatus, decoding apparatus and encoding and decoding methods according to the present invention are applicable to a wireless communication terminal apparatus, base station apparatus in a mobile communication system, tele-conference terminal apparatus, video conference terminal apparatus and voice over internet protocol (VOIP) terminal apparatus.
  • VOIP voice over internet protocol
